Low Water 4 gain.

The Northwestern Miller in it's issue
Of Friday, says:
e. very low stage OF water prevailed
last week, and the mills failed to n1ake
O. very good showing, the greater part OF
the -four made being got out by those
using steam. The flour output for the.
week ending December 8, was 100000
barrels--averaging 1888 barrels daily
against 114,s05 barrels the previous
week. and 49, 800 for the corresponding
time in 1885. Some of the mills which
have lately been idle making repairs are
starting up again, and with the power
unjmproved the water is being divided
Up so that it does very little good to any
one. There were fifteen mills in OPERA.
tion to-day. Oae Of these has just put,
in steam, and i'now grinding with the
same. This makes eight mills that are
being driven by steam power, and they,
Of course, are getting out the bulk Of
the -four produced. The West Side
Water Power company has not enforced
the eighteen hour clause found in most
leases, and there are doubts about it's
being attempted. Some talk is indulged
in abont a water pool, but nothing of a,
tangible nature has come Of it. For
few days previous to yesterdays break
in wheat, the Eastern demand for -four
became quite animated, and though
millers advancedprices considerably, a
yeritable boom in -four seemed about to
be realized. The tumble in wheat,
however, has ssince caused buyers to hes
itate, and quieter market is expected.
Millers are pretty firm in their views,
and are inclined, with the flour output
largely diminished, to maintain prices
at tho advance of a few days past.
Comparatively little -four, as the ship
ments show, is being sold for export,
the domestic market proving much the
most satisfactory. The direct exports
of -four for the week were 81 $50 barrels
against 42.l50 barrels the preceding
week. 81 .szS q

A Common Sense Programme.

Mr.. NJ. NJ. Eshelman, resident OF
northwestern Kansas, is a gentleman
who appears to have some practical
ideas on how swine should be managed
for health and profit, and he expresses
them in the American Agriculturist in
this wise:
"There is probably no better pas
turage for swine than clover
field. When such an one is not
available, oats and rye may
be made to serve as an excellent
substitute. | have six acres fenced
with lumber and wire; three OF these
are sown to rye in the fall, and the
other hall to oats in the spring. As
soon as the oats are about six inches
high, ! turn in the hogs. The rye 10y
that time is beyond their desires, and
comes to maturity about the time the
oats are gone, when it again engages
their attention. The oat ground may
now be plowed and sown to rye Tor
fall pasturage. OF course some OF the
oats will come to maturity. This
also seeds the ground, and | have
not only rye, but a fine mixture oivol-
unteer oats for my hogs in the fall.
BY this means | have raised 100 hogs
without large amount OF corn, and |
hive never had any disease amongmy
swine. In the spring SOW to oats the
three acres that were in rye last year.
BY dividing the field with fence, per-
haps it could be managed still better,
but in country where fencing materi-
al is high farmers must adopt meth
DDS within their reach. BY
means OF this pasturage, the sudden
transition from dry food to green is
avoided. From rye and green oats
the hogs pass to green corn, and as
the corn ripens their systems gradual
ly adapt themselves to the change Tor
the winter, when much of the feed is
dry. A weekly allowance OF oats
during winter will be welcomed by the
swine herd, and il the water given
them be fresh and pure thrift and
profit must be his who thus cares Tor
his animals. Sour bran, ashes, lime,
salt and charcoal should be kept
where the hogs can get at them at
will. Care for your hogs and they will
take care OF your purse.

For Parents TO Ponder.

It is generally without thought, sell
dom with intention to inilct pain,
that q child's past misdemeanors are
kept fresh in his memory when they
should be forgotten; but that this very
often is done by those who should do
better, sometimes even by parents, no
careful observer can doubt. That the
harm thereby done to the child is UNI
realized makes it none the less real.
In some natures hard sulIenness
is engendered; in Others an UNI
healthy tendency to brood over
their own failures, and q sense OF dis
couragement as to the future. For
glveness which does not forget, nor al
low the offender to forget, is OF small
value. 1t brings no peace. 1t will be
priced lightly, and slowly sought, by
any keen.w itted child. Let bygones
be bygones" is a maxim won from the
wisdom OF the ages. What need to
probe n well.heaed wound? If the
discipline which follows n child's Of
fence is wise, and his own repentance
is sincere, the lesson has entered into
his life. That is enough. lie has
taken his step forward, but it was u
rough, hard road. Let him forget
the path as far as he can. Do

thought that he has been naughty.

soon begin to feel that he is rather eN

his inner consciousness. Make him
feel that recitude is expected to be the
rule OF his life; that lapses from it are

Farm and Household.
Farm Notes.

Flavor in grass, as in fruit, is the
combined product OF sunshine and
warm weather. Other circumstances
may modify the flavor OF grass, but
where all other conditions are equal,
the lower the temperature at which it
grows the less flavor will develop IN it,.
That growing grass is sweetened and
improved for milk, butter, and cheese,
is fact we'll known to observing dai-
ry-men.
Knowing that the milk is produced
from the food, says the Western Ru.
raj, we must know that the more the
animal digests, the more milk she will
make. To feed the COW upon indiges-
tible food, would be equivalent to
nothing; and to feed her that which
will require very long time for her
digestive apparatus to convert into
availability is equivalent to feeding
her insufficient food.
An excellent food for pigs during the
Winter is potatoes and corn ears
boiled together until the potatoes are
quite soft, and the food is given when
nearly cold. Small potatoes are as
good as any for this purpose. The
corn and the cob are both much soft
ened in the cooking and are eaten
without waste.
A COW should be dried off two months
before she comes in. During this time
the feed should be dry hay, and no
grain food OF any kind should be Civ
en-. II she has been kept in good con-
dition up to this time she will not
need grain feed. If the milk does not
stop, the COW should be only half
MIXED and but once day.
1t is a good plan to wash horses
necks and shoulders with cold water
after the days work in spring and
summer. 1t will strengthen them
, and prevent lameness and CALLING.
This is especially necessary if the horses
have done much work in winter and
are then set to work suddenly in
spring. II II horse be sick or lame or
swelled, bathing will often improve
it. If the parts affected be cold, then
let the water he n little warm;
but ii the parts be warm, let the wa
ter be cold. Some salt dissolved in the
water will add to its efficiency.

What We Are Made OF.

Professor Langley.
In the South Kensington Museum
there is an immense collection OF OBJ
jects appealing to all tastes and all
classes, and we find there at the same
time people belonging to the wealthy
and cultivated part ofsociety, lingering
over the Louis Seize cabinets or the old
maiolica, and the artisan and his wife
studying the statements as to the rela-
tive economy OF baking powders, or ad-
miring Tippoo Saib's wooden tiger.
There is one shell, however, which
seems to have some attraction COM
mon to all social grades, for its con-
tents appear to be of equal interest to
the peer and costermonger. 1t is the
representation OF a man resolved into
his chemical elements, or rather, an
exhibition OF the materials OF which
the human body is composed. There
is q definite amount of water, for in
stance, in our blood and tissues, and
there on the shell are Just
so many gallons OF water in q large
vessel. Another jar shows the exact
quantity OF carbon IN us; smaller bot
ties contain our iron and our phos-
phorus in just proportion, while 9th.
ers exhibit still other constituents OF
the body, and the whole reposes on
the shelf, as if ready for the coming OF
n new Frankenstein to recreate the
original man and make him walk
about agaA as wedo. The little walls
that contain the different elements
which we all bear about in small pro-
portions are more numerous, and
they suggest not merely the complex
Ity OF our constitutions but the iden-
tity OF our elements with those We
have found by the spectroscope, not
alone in the sun, but even in the dis
tant stars and nebulae, for this won
deriul instrument of the new astron'
omy can find the traces OF poison in
a stomach or analyze a star, and its
conclusion leads us to think that the
ancients were nearly right when they
called man a microcosm, or little uni
veise. We have literally within our
bodies samples OF the most important
elements OF which the great universe
without is composed, and you and |
are not only like each other, and
brothers in humanity, but children OF
the sun and stars in a more literal
sense, having bodies actually made In
large part OF the same things that
made Sirius and Aldsbaran. They
